Bought my wheels and tires

[raidmagic]

First I'd like to thank all of you for your advise and answering my questions about these. I went with radials all the way around. 165-80-15 in the front and 31-18-15 in the rear. I'm not sure I like the fronts they look kinda small to me but I can get bigger ones later if it bothers me that much. They wheels are 15-5 in the front and 15-14 in the rear. I stole the wheels, Summit was closing them out, under $400 shipped for all of them. The tires not so much, them wide ones are pricey.:spank:
Anyway everyone likes pics so here ya go. I'll get them mounted up tomorrow and put them on the car so I can drool over them.

The rear backspace is 4 inches. I have them mounted up now so I'll have pics tonight of them on the car.

Without being a worry wart, have you put each wheel on its designated hub (with the proper lug nuts, torqued to the proper ft./lbs) and put a dial indicator on the inner and outer portion of each rim to check for run out? I would also include the brake rotors or drums (as applicable), both front & rear.

Thanks! If you notice the old windshield frame is taped together. That's 14" so I could see if I liked the height of yours. It was also laid back but it fell over when I moved the car to put the wheels on.

SWEEEEEET! Man! I can't wait to get my wheels and tires. I think those fronts look just right with those big rear hoops.

 

[Keeper]

Man those looks sweet. I have been debating the front tire size I wanted. I think I just found them.

 

[raidmagic]

Thanks for the positive comments guys. I'm much happier with the fronts after seeing them mounted up and on the car. They look much better than I thought they would. I'm really happy with the whole set up.

New shoes always feel and look good... just be careful on that first test run/dance, as they can be slippery sometimes till broke in

 

[fordsbyjay]

Those look good. Personally I like the smaller tire on the front.

Tires look really good. Looks like you where having trouble with the tools you have there mounting them. One of My tricks is start every lug nut then pull wheel out on them and tighten up a little at a time then they seem to go in without catching on the edge.JMO

What color are you going to paint it?
